Timeline
18:00
Arrive at Bodegas Cieli and settle into the rustic tasting room. Order a glass of their Italian-inspired wine and a small bite from the kitchen. The atmosphere is quiet and charming, perfect for settling in before the main event.
18:15
Walk 12 minutes east-southeast from the winery to the Bodegas Cieli viewing spot. This spot is mentioned in the context as being associated with the anchor, offering a dedicated place to stand and watch the sky change color.
19:15
Watch the sun dip toward the WNW. The golden light starting at 18:42 has already washed the landscape, but the final moments of sunset provide a crisp, clear view of the day ending over the valley.
20:00
Return to Bodegas Cieli for a final digestif. The winery stays open until 18:00, so for a post-sunset plan on April 15, you will need to check if they offer evening service or simply enjoy the twilight from their grounds before the official closing time passes.
Local tip
The viewing spot at Bodegas Cieli is only a 12-minute walk from the main property, making it easy to hop between wine and view. Since sunset is at 19:15 in mid-April, arriving by 18:00 ensures you have time to enjoy a drink before heading out.
